Maddox Hamm finished 7th in pole vault with a new PB of 18'-4.75"
JLIV must still be dealing with a hamstring issue. He finished 15th and will not advance to the final in the 400m. His time of 47.01 was significantly slower than his usual.
Been all Pack since. Down 6-1 in the 6th
Hokies win 5-2
Here is his last column in the WaPo about the ACC (gift link): The ACC forgot it was a basketball conference.
Just read this piece - this dude might be DCWilson's spirit animal.
I'm not familiar with his work, but seeing the outpour of support has been good.
Karma swung immediately on Chatfields bat.
5-2 now Hokies
With runner on first McMillan rung up on two pitches a foot off the plate or more.

The fact that she wasn't even planning on entering, didn't push her dogs, and still came in 3rd, less than 6 hours behind the winner, in the longest Iditarod in history, is nothing short of incredible.
Bottom 6 still 3-2
I remember lurking around here starting in 2012, but I had to create a profile in 2014 when Josh Stanford and Antone Exum dropped a track and I knew if Bud Foster heard it, he would have said " 'tone rapped his nuts off on that track."
Holy moly! I hope Cody finds someone to do the first tour or two, and lets Paige rest a little bit. They posted a picture of her on the Squids facebook page after she did the run into Koyuk. Her hair was frozen solid and she had the combat fatigue 100 yard stare. She looked exhausted.
I ended up here in a time where I was trying to be optimistic about the football team. Fuente was new, and I was hoping things would be amazing. They haven't been. But, I've enjoyed it here.
I've been cutting back a bit due to other obligations. But I'll be around.
Your tone/voice reads maturely for someone in their mid 30s.
Short interview with Paige after she had finished. Person mentioned that she had not signed up on signing day, still had not signed up on January 1, what made her sign up. Said, like in the pre-race interview, that the dogs were amazing. Ran several races and came in 2nd-6th in the races. Commented that the river trail was tough. That you'd think it should be straight and easy, buy definitely was not. Said that after the race, they have tours to run the rest of the month with people who had signed up with Squid Acres for them. No rest.
Still 3-2 going to 5th
Couple of screen shots of Paige's finish. A bunch of people doing the can-can dance and singing "Go Paige. Go Squid" just before she arrived and a shot of the team just before the finish line.

I've always felt that it's important to be able to effectively articulate your thoughts through writing.
Friday evening, March 14. Well, Paige may be in Nome, the race ain't over till the fat lady sings the last team makes it into Nome. At ~7 PM east coast, we have:
1. Jessie Holmes into Nome
2. Matt Hall into Nome
3. Paige Drobny into Nome
4. Michelle Phillips almost there, running 9 dogs 1,113 miles in/15 to Nome
5. Baily Vitello getting close, running 12 dogs 1,089 miles in/39 to Nome
6. Travis Beals who will likely arrive early tomorrow east coast time, running 10 dogs 1,060 miles in/68 to Nome
7. Mitch Seavey resting with 10 dogs in White Mountain, 1,057 miles in/71 to Nome
8. Ryan Redington resting with 8 dogs in White Mountain, 1,057 miles in/71 to Nome
9. Millie Porsild running 8 dogs 1,045 miles in/83 to Nome
10. Riley Dyche running 10 dogs 1,027 miles in/101 to Nome
Rookie of the year is a toss up between Emily Ford and Samantha LaLonde. They came over the sea ice together on the GPS and have both been resting in Koyuk, 958 miles in/170 to Nome. Would not be surprised if they try and do the rest of the race together.

Let me know if you think it is worth it. I still have several books my wife got me for my birthday and Christmas to go though.
One I'm almost done with now is The Way of the Hermit about this guy who lives out in the wilds of Northern Scotland (after having spent time in the Yukon and Alaska before that).
The prior one has been my favorite of the ones she got me, Throne of Grace about the life of the old mountain man Jedediah Smith.
Yup. Same here 11 years and 9 months. And some dark times for me too. You and I have had some parallels for sure.
I was thinking about picking that one up next.
Hokies lead 1-0 in 2nd
3-2 in bottom of 2nd. ESN still not letting me watch
